A 0.13 kg baseball has a momentum of p = 11 kg*m/s as it is pitched toward home plate. A 4.2 kg bat swings at the baseball with a momentum of 28 kg*m/s and is in contact with the ball for 0.06 s. Assume the batter doesn't follow through like they should but instead the bat is at rest immediately after being in contact with the baseball (like bunting it). a.How much force was on the baseball when the bat was striking it? b.How much work was done on the baseball by the bat?

1. A firecracker travels straight up at 75.0m/s and explodes into two pieces. The smaller piece carries one third of the firecracker's mass and shoots off horizontally at 48.0m/s west. Determine the speed and direction of the other piece directly after the explosion. 2. Three blocks slide on a smooth surface. Initially, the first block (m1=1.0kg) moves at 3.0m/s to the right, the second block (m2=2.0kg) is at rest, and the third block (m3=3.0kg) moves to the left at 0.50m/s. First, m1 collides elastically with m2 and recoils to the left. Afterwards, m2 and m3 collide and stick. Calculate, a. the velocities of m1 and m2 after the first collision. b. the velocity of m2 and m3 after the second collision.

You drop a steel ball and a clay ball, both of the same mass, from the same distance. The steel ball strikes the ground and rebounds with almost the same speed. The clay ball strikes the ground and sticks. Assume the collisions occur over roughly the same amount of time. Which ball exerted a greater force on the ground? Select the correct answer with the best explanation. A. The two exert the same force. Since they collide with the same initial momentum, they will exert thesame force.B. The clay ball exerts the greater force. Since it starts with some momentum and ends with no momen- tum, it undergoes a greater change in momentum than the steel ball, which rebounds with the same momentum (no change).C. The clay ball exerts the greater force. All of its energy is transferred to the floor, whereas the steelball rebounds with the same kinetic energy, doing no work on the floor.D. The steel ball exerts the greater force. Since it starts with some momentum and it reverses the direction of…
